Much Respect for this man. True to his word, will not stand for anything less than the truth, stands by his officers. We need more officers like this Sheriff! Thank you, Sir for sharing this video.
@Chau Pham Theres a link in the description above to the news story. She didnt look very big and didnt look like he was either? If she had hit him with the shovel though, it could have killed him, especially if she hit him in the head? People strung out on drugs are dangerous because I dont think they feel any pain? Years ago 5 Deputies jumped my cousin trying to subdue him. He was strung out and they still had to use their batons on him.
She was not ready to be helped, as an adult she still had free choice, her thinking was messed up by drugs, but it was Still her free choice. She chose not to change, so their hands were tied. Trying to force change, and taking away people's rights, is how you end up dead too. As he kept saying, easy to think of something better later, and no way in a "far from ideal world" to see outcomes before the fact.
Honest to goodness this man is the most rational, smart, level headed, decent, heart connected man. He inspires and gives me faith there are decent human beings holding a position in true sense of the word “ in service”. He would be a wonderful choice to lead the US as president. I would love to meet and hug him!
Why is it that when someone truly great, like this Sheriff comes along, people automatically want him for a president? It's so foolish. He'd get assassinated right off the bat when the powers that be would try to school him on how it is to be a part of running the government, by other politicians, or their toadies. Something bad usually happens when humans get into power. They become easy to corrupt with their perceived sense of power and cave in to pressure from the good old boy system. I don't believe this Sheriff would allow that to be done to him. He's too aware and I think he lives according to our laws. Since politicians are so shallow in character, they wouldn't be able to tolerate the real thing in office. Dream on, Susie, or get your head out of the clouds and wake up. It's the people out here in life who elect the yahoos that get into office. No president could clean up the whole process while any of us sit on our hands out here and excuse the criminals for what they do to society!
Sheriff Judd, thank you for everything you do. It's just so hard to understand why in the world people want to blame law enforcement instead of the criminals.
I'm sorry I understand what you mean 💯💯💯💯 if you do the crime you have to do the time but without bodycams how we going to get the bad apples out of the department because you know not everyone is 💯💯💯 honest
@@lucycarlisle9120 I rather have a bodycam video pointed 👉 at me at all time of the stop or anything so they can see and hear exactly what I'm doing I need that a video won't lie on my face
@@mannyayende1864 But you indicate the bodycam is there to surveil the police ... they don't. They add to their ability to manipulate the situation their way because we can't see them, only the public. Of course the public looks irrational when the officer's facial expressions, gestures, & body language are not an issue. Cell phones are better.
I love this sheriff, but let’s not be completely ignorant here, that was a dumb answer. The person asking the question has the job of reporting the news (take that with a grain of salt), the police have the job of dealing with situations like this. For him to basically ask a journalist why he wasn’t being an officer is ridiculous. His explanation on body cameras is equally as ridiculous. He’s a great sheriff, but he’s a LEO through & through, & with that comes some not so great characteristics as well, regardless of whether you choose to be ignorant of that fact or not.

Sheriff Grady makes a very valid point about mental health professionals and those termed "co-responders". The points he makes are valid here in Australia. Mental Health professionals have a vital role to play in terms of patient/client management however for a variety of reasons Police are the ones called upon to deal with someone who is in a mental health crisis. Our mental health teams do not work 24/7 nor will they attend locations to deal with crisis management. They will not even proactively search for absconding patients. The reason they do not respond is due to the dangers that people in crisis and at times others present on scene pose. This is also the same reasons why Police are often formally requested to provide or be present during a mental health escort from one facility to another when clearly the person is the responsibility of the Health Department. This is why over the past 10-15 years Police have been given ever increasing amounts of mental health training to be better equipped to deal with people in crisis. In my opinion, the more training Police are required to do in relation to mental health is an indication that the mental health system is failing. However, Police can have all the mental health training in the world and despite that training, their intentions and efforts to de-escalate a situation can develop, usually rapidly, that requires the officer to defend themselves or another which ends in tragedy.
Agreed. It is up to the individual Officer. They are given small pay raises and are better equipped....I know a guy that worked up for our department. Saved 8 people from drowning , accidents, suicide....and 1 body recovery and got that people on death row. Good guy; seems to care about the job
Having worked in corrections and incarcerated youth, at-risk group homes, and at-risk public schools, I feel the deputy acted appropriately in self-defence. The shame lies in the lack of mental institutions and facilities to house the growing number of drug-addicted mental cases. Thank you officer Grady for your outstanding service.
honestly the cop could of just out ran the woman lol...the cop basicly made it a legal suicide by cop, if that cop didnt have a law saying hes allowed to kill her in that situation, he and her would still be alive and he would be completely fine lol thats just a fact.
This "deputy " sucks! A tazer... Could had called for back up! Stop senseless killing. If this was YOUR child... Then what??? You're sick in the head. People are lacing drugs and most don't know. You need training about life. Go to hell.
Thank you and your Deputies for the service you provide. This is a bad time in history for people who provide vital services, thank you for standing tall and true.
Thank you sherriff Judd and the p c s d , obviously she had a dangerous and violent demeanor, I'm sorry to see anyone lose their life ,but with that being said, it was her own actions that brought her down , remember folks that actions have consequences,
Just listening to the comments tell you how lost America is. It is absolutely absurd that this woman dies to he hands of the Police. I lived in 8 countries and the US is by far the most violent. In France; the Police is not allowed to discharge it's weapon only if presented with deadly force at the same level. This is not normal. This is not a lawful action. This is Murder and In the eyes of God your soul is condemned. The US has lost it's sense of Moral. No Common Sense. This Never happens in Europe! She didn't deserve to be MURDERED! Non of this what he explains justifies her MURDER!
@@MrFreshEdition are you talking about France as an example to be followed????? Are out of your mind???? I feel sorry for you and I will try to stay far away from your likes.
@@MrFreshEdition yes france is so magical nothing bad happens there. Oh wait there are literally millions of people on the street homeless killing each other.
There have been very limited instances in my adult life where I've really been brought to question my own beliefs and opinions about certain things, and listening to this Sheriff talk about the body cameras is one of those instances. I can't say definitively that he's totally changed my mind about the subject, but I most certainly am questioning it and am DEFINITELY more open minded to the topic and its different sides. Wow. I actually really enjoy these moments where I'm rendered speechless and feel totally shook and lost in thought. Thoroughly appreciate hearing his thoughts on this!
Keep questioning things and you’ll find most of the time officers are right in the decisions they make. I catch myself giving officers the benefit of the doubt and then you find some where it’s impossible to do that.
You are absolutely right. The idiocy that spews forth from these supposedly educated "journalists" is often astoundingly stupid and too frequently out of keeping with the statements just made by the speaker.
Well, I don't think the reporters are stupid.. They represent the masses with their questions. So they have to ask stupid questions.. Thus people can have their response! 😉
@@dcgo44r So what you're saying is that they shouldn't give people the benefit of their education by asking intelligent questions. They should assume everyone else is stupid and ask only stupid questions. Seriously?
Thank you Sheriff Grady Judd. I am so tired of hearing people criticize the police. Without law enforcement we would all be in trouble. Thank God for Grady Judd. It makes me want to move to his county all the way from Massachusetts!
Umm a shovel is a dangerous weapon, self defense on the deputy's part. People have been killed by shovel-wielding people. She should have been hospitalized by the family, not left to run free and hurt or attempt to hurt others.
Maybe the reporter who came up with the alternatives should leave his phone number so the next time this comes up, he can be called to "descalate" the situation. 😂🤣 Sheriff Judd talks so well, no script needed, no lame fillers: "ya' know"..., "ummmm"..., he speaks so well. "The person that failed her, was her." PERFECT - well said. I honestly feel sad for her family, I really do, but it doesn't sound like she would continue on her violent path and cause her family more anguish and possibly harm or kill some innocent person. Maybe, just maybe, her children will be raised by healthy folks. What us the matter with these "reporters"?????? GAH...!!!!
@@mannyayende1864 people that can not afford a lawyer should not commit crimes and the sheriff would not make the money you think he does. Clear on this issue?????
Her family says the system failed her. There you go…they had no regard that she was going to attack another person with a shovel. She failed with herself.
God Bless the Deputies who patrol and work our streets every day and night. Pray for your Deputy and the family of that woman. The media, well, I have an idea....print up a "No stupid questions allowed" sign and put it on your desk for every press conference. The public would come to the press conference, but the media will never show up.
I am a retired Deputy Sheriff, having proudly served for 27 years in California. I wish I had the privilege of working for Sheriff Grady, he is a man of character and backs his people as long as they are doing what's right. My entire career I worked for a Sheriff that was corrupt and sadly several members of her command staff were corrupt. During my career, I saw people promoted because they slept with someone or because they were a certain race and threatened a lawsuit if they were not promoted. During my career, very few people were actually hired because they had a degree, worked their way up through the ranks, were qualified and deserved to be promoted. Sadly, throughout my career I saw firsthand supervisors blatantly lying and getting away with it, the corruption started at the top, our Sheriff was a disgrace especially to those who proudly wear our uniform and I'm glad to see that she is being forced out of office. Sheriff Grady is a Godly, moral man of character the citizens of Florida are blessed to have him as their Sheriff. Thank you Sir for your true leadership and for setting the standards up high!!!
"Hweih doesn’t deny that her sister, the mother of two young girls ages 6 and 2 months, had a history of trouble that includes assault, drugs and battery on a police officer. But it was brought on, she says, by mental health issues and drug addiction. " That does not prevent the police from defending themselves and others. It makes the family responsible for doing as much as possible to get that family member UNDER self control if possible, if not under control of a psychiatrist or psychiatric ward or hospital. The police are not at fault if there is not clear communication as to what is wrong, or if the social services do not get the person into the right place, or if the court does not function fully for the person.
Whether as a cop, a male or female private citizen, or whomever (fill-in-the-blank), if presented with a real threat (perceived, real, there's no mistake), the person who is in defense mode with an attack has no idea of the threat person's background, how he / she was raised, how many kids he / she has, or if this is an abused or battered person. Each of us has the fundamental right to self-defense. What about YOUR kids? What about YOUR job and family and YOUR aspirations and goals? As Gordan Runyan states near the end in his excellent book, 'Resistance to Tyrants,' "second shooter is first victim." Something the liberal press has no clue, or seems that way. You must have made the decision long ago that you will use violent non-lethal or lethal force on someone who is about to harm you. This deputy was trained, alert, and he gave the woman plenty of opportunity to stop. She did not. I am sure he feels bad about it, but he had no choice. Kudos on Sheriff Judd for stating, clearly, the obvious, and for backing his people.
All power to the sergeant. He gets to go home. It is not good that a life is lost but she came at someone who was able to protect themselves. Don't mess with people. If you take drugs, that is your problem and the consequences are on you.
Sheriff Grady Judd is the best Sheriff and should be in DC to head our entire countries Police forces. Remarkable man who has compassion and a no non sense Sheriif , he holds his own Police to higher standards .
I respect this Sheriff. He stands up for his officers. That is how it should be. Maybe then criminals might check themselves before attacking officers and the general public.
Do the reporters ever listen to themselves? Why is it they cannot understand what they are being told. The Sheriff's Department should bring reporters along with them and have the reporters handle these situations. That MIGHT put a lick of sense into the prejudiced reporters.
@@dd_ranchtexas4501, yep, worth thinking over. Send them in first to get to know the situation and then they can tell the officers how to handle it. Should they come back, that is. 😂 I just don't see a down side to it.

I just tell them if they _"think"_ they can do better, go sign up...
It's funny how many DON'T! like 100% of the ppl I talk to say they think they could do better, but NEVER sign up.

Go figure!
@@goose7574 It's probably because those people are all just a little bit dirty themselves and if they get the cops out of the picture, they can stop having to remember all their lives and dirt, etc. God forbid that will ever happen.
Can Grady Judd be cloned and sent to some of our problem cities in our nation?
Bootlicker he could have got back in his car and drove off did not have to kill this woman
Sheriff Grady is my hero! He is an incredible man who makes damn good sense!
Hey Sheriff Grady, Prayers and Support for you and the Department from up in Alachua. Thank you for everything you all do.
I live in Alachua, too, and wish we had a Sheriff just like Sheriff Judd.
He's agreat leader.he defends his people.why didn't he just taze her.extremely stupid quéstion!!!!!
Sheriff Judd Grady is the gold standard of the law... much appreciation and respect for the man 💙
Are these reporters legit? I mean seriously, the absurdity in the questions posed is profound. Sheriff Judd 's a freaking Rockstar!!!
Dems
Absolutely pathetic. Trash media, go figure. "Journalists"
AMEN!
AMEN!
All of this is staged and it's all b*******
Much Respect for this man. True to his word, will not stand for anything less than the truth, stands by his officers. We need more officers like this Sheriff! Thank you, Sir for sharing this video.
yep
Best sheriff in country go get em judd
@Chau Pham Theres a link in the description above to the news story. She didnt look very big and didnt look like he was either? If she had hit him with the shovel though, it could have killed him, especially if she hit him in the head? People strung out on drugs are dangerous because I dont think they feel any pain? Years ago 5 Deputies jumped my cousin trying to subdue him. He was strung out and they still had to use their batons on him.
No we dont, he is nothing but a politician wearing a uniform instead of a suit.
And stands behind the truth and justice when hus officers aren't honorable or worth being stood behind.
This privacy versus accountability topic needs more discussion.
They're no expectation of privacy in public this guy is full of it
Sad what happened and I pray her children live a great life and are loved, She should have listened and the family should have helped her
She was not ready to be helped, as an adult she still had free choice, her thinking was messed up by drugs, but it was Still her free choice. She chose not to change, so their hands were tied. Trying to force change, and taking away people's rights, is how you end up dead too. As he kept saying, easy to think of something better later, and no way in a "far from ideal world" to see outcomes before the fact.
Honest to goodness this man is the most rational, smart, level headed, decent, heart connected man. He inspires and gives me faith there are decent human beings holding a position in true sense of the word “ in service”. He would be a wonderful choice to lead the US as president. I would love to meet and hug him!
Why is it that when someone truly great, like this Sheriff comes along, people automatically want him for a president? It's so foolish. He'd get assassinated right off the bat when the powers that be would try to school him on how it is to be a part of running the government, by other politicians, or their toadies. Something bad usually happens when humans get into power. They become easy to corrupt with their perceived sense of power and cave in to pressure from the good old boy system. I don't believe this Sheriff would allow that to be done to him. He's too aware and I think he lives according to our laws. Since politicians are so shallow in character, they wouldn't be able to tolerate the real thing in office. Dream on, Susie, or get your head out of the clouds and wake up. It's the people out here in life who elect the yahoos that get into office. No president could clean up the whole process while any of us sit on our hands out here and excuse the criminals for what they do to society!
Yes he uses commonsense and logic this country is in a bad place but you know what happens to good men in politics just remember Kennedy.
Sheriff Judd, thank you for everything you do. It's just so hard to understand why in the world people want to blame law enforcement instead of the criminals.
I'm sorry I understand what you mean 💯💯💯💯 if you do the crime you have to do the time but without bodycams how we going to get the bad apples out of the department because you know not everyone is 💯💯💯 honest
@@mannyayende1864 True
@@mannyayende1864 Except the point that the bodycams show us the public, not the police.

Grady Judd for President!!! Love him! Wants the best for the homeless, for the people.
great response to a ridiculous question love that "where were you?"
You beat me to it!!!!
I love this sheriff, but let’s not be completely ignorant here, that was a dumb answer. The person asking the question has the job of reporting the news (take that with a grain of salt), the police have the job of dealing with situations like this. For him to basically ask a journalist why he wasn’t being an officer is ridiculous. His explanation on body cameras is equally as ridiculous. He’s a great sheriff, but he’s a LEO through & through, & with that comes some not so great characteristics as well, regardless of whether you choose to be ignorant of that fact or not.
Answer should have been simple 'I was doing my job, and no one died on my watch. You ?'
Cop didn't need to kill her so many other things he could've done
@@DR.DisInfect Couldda wouldda shouldda. Where were YOU. Why weren't YOU taking care of this woman? What do YOU do to make YOUR community a good place to be? HMMMM???
I truly have super respect for Sherrif Judd and love seeing his videos!
Sheriff Grady makes a very valid point about mental health professionals and those termed "co-responders". The points he makes are valid here in Australia. Mental Health professionals have a vital role to play in terms of patient/client management however for a variety of reasons Police are the ones called upon to deal with someone who is in a mental health crisis. Our mental health teams do not work 24/7 nor will they attend locations to deal with crisis management. They will not even proactively search for absconding patients. The reason they do not respond is due to the dangers that people in crisis and at times others present on scene pose. This is also the same reasons why Police are often formally requested to provide or be present during a mental health escort from one facility to another when clearly the person is the responsibility of the Health Department.
This is why over the past 10-15 years Police have been given ever increasing amounts of mental health training to be better equipped to deal with people in crisis. In my opinion, the more training Police are required to do in relation to mental health is an indication that the mental health system is failing. However, Police can have all the mental health training in the world and despite that training, their intentions and efforts to de-escalate a situation can develop, usually rapidly, that requires the officer to defend themselves or another which ends in tragedy.
Agreed. It is up to the individual Officer. They are given small pay raises and are better equipped....I know a guy that worked up for our department. Saved 8 people from drowning , accidents, suicide....and 1 body recovery and got that people on death row. Good guy; seems to care about the job
Kudos to you and your team on your actions taken to keep the community safe. I like your stance on body cams.
Having worked in corrections and incarcerated youth, at-risk group homes, and at-risk public schools, I feel the deputy acted appropriately in self-defence. The shame lies in the lack of mental institutions and facilities to house the growing number of drug-addicted mental cases. Thank you officer Grady for your outstanding service.
honestly the cop could of just out ran the woman lol...the cop basicly made it a legal suicide by cop, if that cop didnt have a law saying hes allowed to kill her in that situation, he and her would still be alive and he would be completely fine lol thats just a fact.
This "deputy " sucks! A tazer... Could had called for back up! Stop senseless killing. If this was YOUR child... Then what??? You're sick in the head. People are lacing drugs and most don't know. You need training about life. Go to hell.
Thank you and your Deputies for the service you provide. This is a bad time in history for people who provide vital services, thank you for standing tall and true.
Polk Country Sherriff Dept must have a stack a mile high of applications to be deputies there. Who wouldn't want to work for this man?
I was just thinking that if I were law enforcement I would want to work for this man! You are so right...must have all kinds of applications!
Less than honorable people wouldn't. They're too busy running for justice.
You could learn a lot from this man if you would open your mind and be receptive to his years of wisdom.
I love the way you think, Sheriff! Thanks for showing this.

Thank you sherriff Judd and the p c s d , obviously she had a dangerous and violent demeanor, I'm sorry to see anyone lose their life ,but with that being said, it was her own actions that brought her down , remember folks that actions have consequences,
Just listening to the comments tell you how lost America is. It is absolutely absurd that this woman dies to he hands of the Police. I lived in 8 countries and the US is by far the most violent. In France; the Police is not allowed to discharge it's weapon only if presented with deadly force at the same level. This is not normal. This is not a lawful action. This is Murder and In the eyes of God your soul is condemned. The US has lost it's sense of Moral. No Common Sense. This Never happens in Europe! She didn't deserve to be MURDERED! Non of this what he explains justifies her MURDER!
@@MrFreshEdition are you talking about France as an example to be followed?????
Are out of your mind????
I feel sorry for you and I will try to stay far away from your likes.
@@MrFreshEdition yes france is so magical nothing bad happens there. Oh wait there are literally millions of people on the street homeless killing each other.
There have been very limited instances in my adult life where I've really been brought to question my own beliefs and opinions about certain things, and listening to this Sheriff talk about the body cameras is one of those instances. I can't say definitively that he's totally changed my mind about the subject, but I most certainly am questioning it and am DEFINITELY more open minded to the topic and its different sides. Wow. I actually really enjoy these moments where I'm rendered speechless and feel totally shook and lost in thought. Thoroughly appreciate hearing his thoughts on this!
I feel exactly the same! Never ever considered his outlook on cameras! It was truly quite refreshing!
Keep questioning things and you’ll find most of the time officers are right in the decisions they make. I catch myself giving officers the benefit of the doubt and then you find some where it’s impossible to do that.
That Deputy did exactly the right thing to protect himself and had exactly NO choice.
Did you see the bodycam video? Oh yeah that's right they don't have bodycams so how do you know the deputy didn't have no choice?
@@mannyayende1864 surveillance, witness statements, forensics, 911 call transcripts, etc. You know, all the evidence.
The questions asked by the majority of the "reporters" is a testament to just how out of touch they are with the real world. Great job Sheriff!
You are absolutely right. The idiocy that spews forth from these supposedly educated "journalists" is often astoundingly stupid and too frequently out of keeping with the statements just made by the speaker.
@@logancody8841 Oh, they're just posturing for their bosses, showing them what hard-line reporters they are!
Well, I don't think the reporters are stupid.. They represent the masses with their questions. So they have to ask stupid questions.. Thus people can have their response! 😉
@@dcgo44r So what you're saying is that they shouldn't give people the benefit of their education by asking intelligent questions. They should assume everyone else is stupid and ask only stupid questions. Seriously?
@@logancody8841 Really? Did you really came back to me with this? Well yeah! 😂 Lol.. Facts are facts!
Thank you Sheriff Grady Judd. I am so tired of hearing people criticize the police. Without law enforcement we would all be in trouble. Thank God for Grady Judd. It makes me want to move to his county all the way from Massachusetts!
Umm a shovel is a dangerous weapon, self defense on the deputy's part. People have been killed by shovel-wielding people. She should have been hospitalized by the family, not left to run free and hurt or attempt to hurt others.
Who's going to pay the hospital bill?
Sheriff Grady is one very smart man. He tells it like it is. He is a great sheriff.
Grady rocks. He is an amazing Sheriff and damn America could do well with more of this man. 💯
Maybe the reporter who came up with the alternatives should leave his phone number so the next time this comes up, he can be called to "descalate" the situation. 😂🤣 Sheriff Judd talks so well, no script needed, no lame fillers: "ya' know"..., "ummmm"..., he speaks so well. "The person that failed her, was her." PERFECT - well said.
I honestly feel sad for her family, I really do, but it doesn't sound like she would continue on her violent path and cause her family more anguish and possibly harm or kill some innocent person. Maybe, just maybe, her children will be raised by healthy folks.
What us the matter with these "reporters"?????? GAH...!!!!
I am just thankful the Sergeant is safe. It doesn't pay to get stupid when someone
Threatens harm to Law Enforcement or anyone..
Americas most loved Sheriff..I hope he makes tons of money because he deserves it.
He do make tons of money from all the low class people in polk county that can't afford a good lawyer when they are wrong doing

Who brings a gun to a shovel fight?? 🤦♂️
Her family says the system failed her. There you go…they had no regard that she was going to attack another person with a shovel. She failed with herself.
Thank you and your department for ALL your services.
Well said Sir,
Oh Sheriff, can I slap these people who are asking these questions? WHAT is wrong with people? God Bless, Grady Judd.
Typical "journalists" quarterbacking cops that will never, ever, do the job.
Pro tip - don't charge a deputy with a shovel.
For your health
It's almost like it's common sense or something
@@bitchyeyebrows
Agree ✌
Pro tip- if the officer tells you to stop advancing and to drop whatever you have in your hands do it
For your health
Don't bring a shovel to a gun fight.

God Bless the Deputies who patrol and work our streets every day and night. Pray for your Deputy and the family of that woman. The media, well, I have an idea....print up a "No stupid questions allowed" sign and put it on your desk for every press conference. The public would come to the press conference, but the media will never show up.
You're right about that.
I'm sick of people saying that the criminal is not responsible for their own actions.

@Rick H What does this mean, Rick?
I am a retired Deputy Sheriff, having proudly served for 27 years in California. I wish I had the privilege of working for Sheriff Grady, he is a man of character and backs his people as long as they are doing what's right. My entire career I worked for a Sheriff that was corrupt and sadly several members of her command staff were corrupt. During my career, I saw people promoted because they slept with someone or because they were a certain race and threatened a lawsuit if they were not promoted. During my career, very few people were actually hired because they had a degree, worked their way up through the ranks, were qualified and deserved to be promoted. Sadly, throughout my career I saw firsthand supervisors blatantly lying and getting away with it, the corruption started at the top, our Sheriff was a disgrace especially to those who proudly wear our uniform and I'm glad to see that she is being forced out of office.
Sheriff Grady is a Godly, moral man of character the citizens of Florida are blessed to have him as their Sheriff. Thank you Sir for your true leadership and for setting the standards up high!!!
Amen!
Looks like she dug her own grave with that shovel so to speak .
"Hweih doesn’t deny that her sister, the mother of two young girls ages 6 and 2 months, had a history of trouble that includes assault, drugs and battery on a police officer.
But it was brought on, she says, by mental health issues and drug addiction. " That does not prevent the police from defending themselves and others. It makes the family responsible for doing as much as possible to get that family member UNDER self control if possible, if not under control of a psychiatrist or psychiatric ward or hospital. The police are not at fault if there is not clear communication as to what is wrong, or if the social services do not get the person into the right place, or if the court does not function fully for the person.
Whether as a cop, a male or female private citizen, or whomever (fill-in-the-blank), if presented with a real threat (perceived, real, there's no mistake), the person who is in defense mode with an attack has no idea of the threat person's background, how he / she was raised, how many kids he / she has, or if this is an abused or battered person. Each of us has the fundamental right to self-defense. What about YOUR kids? What about YOUR job and family and YOUR aspirations and goals? As Gordan Runyan states near the end in his excellent book, 'Resistance to Tyrants,' "second shooter is first victim." Something the liberal press has no clue, or seems that way. You must have made the decision long ago that you will use violent non-lethal or lethal force on someone who is about to harm you. This deputy was trained, alert, and he gave the woman plenty of opportunity to stop. She did not. I am sure he feels bad about it, but he had no choice.
Kudos on Sheriff Judd for stating, clearly, the obvious, and for backing his people.
All power to the sergeant. He gets to go home. It is not good that a life is lost but she came at someone who was able to protect themselves. Don't mess with people. If you take drugs, that is your problem and the consequences are on you.
I am from Canada and I am proud of you and your department please all of you stay safe.
Who is the boy who asks such silly questions?

Just another presstitute.
Mr. Judd seems to be a decent , honest guy
He is. I would certainly trust him and his deputies with my safety
You can always turn the cameras on and off at will.

But when Justice needs to be served Grady delivers, he does a wonderful job

Well said Sherriff, the first reporter was so thoughtless.
I respect this Sheriff. He stands up for his officers. That is how it should be. Maybe then criminals might check themselves before attacking officers and the general public.
Unbelievable how disconnected some folks are. This guy.😡
Is there a reason why he had to shoot 4 times in order to subdue her ???
People on drugs and adrenalin are hard to subdue most of the time...Of the 4, I'm sure only 1 stopped her...Sad, but necessary...
SMDH, things happen fast
Some of these "reporters" have never seen a body after an attack with a shovel. Extremely gruesome.
Doesn't mean she needed to die Sheriff Judd. It's not right.
Right. I want to know why she wasn't tased first.
“Everyone opposes everything nowadays. I’m sure you can find someone that opposes breathing air someplace.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do the reporters ever listen to themselves? Why is it they cannot understand what they are being told. The Sheriff's Department should bring reporters along with them and have the reporters handle these situations. That MIGHT put a lick of sense into the prejudiced reporters.
